TVNZ Accelerated Flow Programme Credits Guide

All programme junctions on TV One and TV 2 that air in
peaktime will include an accelerated flow end credit sequence
(ACF).

Production requirements

All channel branded accelerated flow elements will
be created in house by TVNZ.

Productions are only required to provide a
programme complete with generic international style end
credits.

The style of programme end credits is at the discretion of the
programme producer.

End Credits can be in any legible font, arranged as static
captions, a roller or a crawl.

No attempt should be made to imitate TVNZ channel branding, if
in doubt use simple white on black graphics.

The layout of the end credits should conform to 14:9 graphics
safe area guidelines.

Production Company and NZOA credits must be incorporated into
the 30 second duration.

All voiceovers and dialogue should have finished by the start of
the end credits.

A vision and audio fade from the end of the last programme part
is required to separate the credit sequence.

Any 'Next Time on...' packages must be included within the
programme duration and have finished before the credit roll.
NB:Avoid saying next week as
schedule changes and repeat patterns may invalidate this.

If in doubt please consult with TVNZ Commissioning or TVNZ
Presentation for additional information on the accelerated flow
delivery requirements.

Exceptions:

If specifically approved by TVNZ commissioning, programmes may
be delivered and aired with non ACF alternative end credits. Such
exceptions may include; credits embedded within Live Action
content, credits over a next time promo, or specific music
integration from programme to credits. Please contact TVNZ for
clarification and approval.

Supplier/ Service Credits

Where it
has been agreed to credit suppliers, then those credits (and/or
logos) will be accommodated in the 30 second credit strap and be
positioned within the ACF layout. Please ensure that these credit
logos are approved by your commissioner prior to their
creation.

NZ
ON AIR Credits

When
required, the New Zealand On-Air credit also plays within the ACF
layout. This 5 second animation follows the same rules as a
production company credit.

To
successfully transfer your text credits to the ACF sequence, we
request the following:

When there are sponsor logos or production badges integrated
into end credits, we may on occasion require such logos to be
supplied separately (as graphical files). In order to be
integrated into the ACF strap.

A text (.txt) file or Word document (.doc) with the text
of the end credits will enable us to transpose content
directly onto the strap and thus avoid any spelling or
grammatical errors.
